Abstract

The role and place of religious culture in state and politics is conditioned by the nature of mentality in a concrete society. Regardless of cultural diversity, all societies are connected by one inborn moral law, which for the religious culture is conceptually identified with the conscience of man. Internal moral law sets the boundaries of religious culture, which no state system has a right to violate or disavow. The influence of religious culture on politics in practice is most visible in the moral and spiritual condition of a society. A culture that does not instil in a man a true humanity becomes an anticulture. Instead of “inculturation” of Christianity, Christianization of culture should be developed, which helps man in life according to his internal and inborn moral value system. Political loyalty can not require from a person to give up his beliefs stemming from his religious cultural mentality. Semantically and essentially every culture is in its deep dimension a religious culture.
